Introductory stories are being posted this week. These stories are a great way to get an introduction to the harvesters who will be providing updates and the crews they represent.

Follow the blog: The blog is updated on a regular basis, and during the peak of harvest it is updated daily. The best way to follow along is subscribing to email updates. This can be done by adding your email into the “subscribe” field on the right side of the blog. The email subscription will deliver the latest updates to your inbox every morning.

Feel free to leave a comment on the blog. Tell the correspondents how much you enjoy their posts, or share a harvest story of your own.

Follow Twitter: Twitter is a great way to follow the harvest trail. Follow All Aboard on Twitter at https://twitter.com/allaboardtour. Don’t forget to RT your favorite posts.

Instagram: Follow the hashtag #aawh15. The #aawh15 photo feed is displayed on the left side of the blog. You can even contribute to that feed! Snap a harvest photo and tag #aawh15. Your photos will be included if your Instagram account is public. It’s a great way to contribute to our program.

https://hpjmarketing.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/national-ffa-week-feb-21-28-2015/#respondMon, 23 Feb 2015 18:04:43 +0000http://hpjmarketing.wordpress.com/?p=886Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015 marked the beginning of National FFA Week. The week-long tradition began in 1947 when the National FFA Board of Directors designated the week of George Washington’s birthday as National FFA Week in recognition of his legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. The first National FFA Week was held in 1948. Today, FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22, Washington’s birthday.

National FFA Week did not start out as a week-long event. At first it was National FFA Day. The 1933 National FFA Convention Proceedings records the beginning of FFA Day in this way: “Stewart of Montana requested the floor at this time to present a matter of general interest. He suggested the idea of having a special Future Farmer Day some time during 1934, preferably on one of the regular national FFA broadcasting days. It was pointed out that the various state associations could perhaps plan special state broadcasts also on that day and that chapters might plan their father and son banquets on the date specified. The idea seemed to meet with general delegate approval and after some discussion it was moved by Stewart that the Board of Trustees arrange for such a day; motion passed.”

Educate and advocate!

National FFA Week is an opportunity for FFA members, alumni and sponsors to advocate for agricultural education and FFA. It’s a time to share with local, state and national audiences what FFA is and the impact it has on members every day.

Have fun!

There are a variety of events throughout the week that allow a chapter to communicate with others what FFA is all about and ignite a passion for agriculture! Some chapters host teacher appreciation breakfasts, others conduct “Agriculture Olympics” competitions, while still others reach out to the community through service projects. This is just a small sampling of how chapters promote FFA in their schools and communities.

The “Roots in Ag” series is a way to highlight the commitment to agriculture High Plains Journal and the employees have. The campaign is a way to let our readers know that agriculture isn’t just a paycheck for us, it’s a way of life.

We invite all employees to participate in our campaign. We’ll be posting these tiles/photos on Mondays as long as we have the content. We would like to be able to post them throughout the year! We have tiles scheduled up to March 9, and are looking for more volunteers. You can see the examples we have below in the image gallery.

If you’d like to participate let Sarah know and we’ll get you the information on what we need to put your tile together.
